Latest Fishing Report

March 8, 2019

With more snow on the horizon the lakes will become increasingly difficult to access with a truck and/or wheelhouse. There are however anglers plowing new roads all of the time but it’s nothing you can count on. If you have the time it wouldn’t hurt to drive by some of your favorite waters and check to see if someone has plowed a road. If you are like most anglers and you’d like to make sure you can get out fishing I’d recommend fishing either Minnewaska or Osakis. Both of those lakes will have roads plowed on them by the local resorts.

The fishing has been quite good around the area, even during the last blizzard the fishing was more than excellent. The only real slow down we had was last weekend. The fish were down there but were very tight lipped. Now with another storm on the horizon the fish have regained their appetite and the fishing has been excellent once again. The best bite for the very large crappies has been during the low light time periods. We are catching bluegills during the day with a few crappie mixed in, but the best crappie bite has been after dark.

If you plan on coming up to fish after the storm this weekend I’d recommend calling either Hunt’s Resort on Minnewaska or Head of the Lakes Resort on Osakis before you head up. It might take them a day or two to get the roads opened back up.
